Dear Brother, we think of you often and with great love and appreciation for the amazing human who shared our beginnings with. There is no greater bond than that of siblings, for we molded each other into who we became in physical life. May your heart know the love that is sent your way.

Tom.... my sweetheart,

If your spirit still lingers with us and you can hear me, in someway, I want you to know that I miss you.... I miss you so very much. Especially in the morning... you made waking up a time of joy and thanksgiving. I miss your hugs and waving goodbye to you from the kitchen window, as you left for work. Part of me is gone.... I'm a little lost.... I know I will find my way... in time, but for now I really hurt and I see you everywhere and think of you all through the day.

I have so much to be thankful for.... I have so many that love me and have cared for me and still do.... but there is a void that no one else can replace.

You were loved by so many..... and made such a difference in so many people's lives. You could walk into a group of people with a smile and that greeting of "Howdy" that we were all so familiar with..... and brighten up the whole room. You had a special gift of talking with anyone that might be burdened in someway and helped them forget about their problems and change their whole day by lifting their spirits. That is really something! There are few people in this world that could have that kind of an effect on another human being. The world has lost a beautiful person.

Your friends.... your family: They have been so good to me and have tried to do everything they could to help me and to love me....... There is no reason to be concerned over my well-being.... I am well taken care of. I don't think God would allow one of his own to suffer over the loved ones that they have left behind, but maybe for a short time, he might allow them to see..... and if he does.... you can know that because you gave so much of your heart.... love and kindness to others..... your wife has reaped those benefits.

Twenty-three years together… I only wished it could have been 23 more. Yet I believe that God has a reason for everything that happens. We can only see and feel in this little space of time that we have been given..... God sees the past, present, and future.... so I know I should not ask... Why?

I have been blessed to know you... to have been loved by you and to have loved you. I still love you and I always will.

See you later...... Janice

We were so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. The memories of meeting and sharing with you guys at Liberty Lighthouse are treasures. Tom was a wonderful person and it was a blessing to know him. You and all the family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

I've known Tom since March of '74 as we were in the Air Force together at Carswell for four years. We both got jobs at Lockheed and have seen each other daily through the years. Tom was a great guy who did his job well and was respected by his peers. We've had a lot of good laughs through the years and I will miss him dearly.

My dad was a wonderful man. He was probably the most patient man I have ever known. He most always had a smile on his face and you could hear him whistling away or singing some tune. He was a cheerful, loving, father, and I will miss him dearly. I love you dad. Your "little DeDe"

My goodness, how the years have passed so quickly. It's been so long since I saw you last, but I remember what a great guy you were. I don't think I ever saw you without a smile on your face! I'll be praying for your family that God will bring peace & comfort in the days ahead.
